him to have begotten this son in 1362, at the very early age of 16 [he was aged 21], this would make the date of birth of Fulke the fourth 1346 [he was born 2 Mar. 1340/1], and of his coming of age 1367 [he was of age 1361/2], so that at the very least he must have been for ten years major, and consequently for four years as a major entitled to the dignity, if it existed [he would have been so entitled for about 12 years]. Fulke the fifth, born as aforesaid in 1363 [recte 1361/2], died in 1391 [8 Aug. 1391]. He was, therefore, major for seven years [recte 9 years]. He was succeeded by his son Fulke the sixth, born 1388 [born 1 Apr. or 3 May 1389], who died a minor in 1407. He was succeeded by his son Fulke the seventh, born 1406 [born 20 Jan. 1405/6], died unmarried and a minor 1420. He was succeeded by his sister Elizabeth, who survived as the wife of Richard Hankford till 1430 [she died between 10 Feb. 1425/6 and 16 Jan. 1427/8]. She was succeeded by her daughters Thomasine, born 1420 [she was born 23 Feb. 1422/3], and Elizabeth. &c.

APPENDIX J

THE PETITION OF REYNOLD WEST,

LORD LA WARRE

In volume iv of this work, p. 153, the text of a petition, from Reynold West alias la Warre to Henry VI, is given from a mutilated copy now among the Ancient Petitions, no. 6013. Since the publication of that volume, Mr. R. L. Atkinson, of the Record Office, has discovered another copy of the petition (Idem, nos. 9067, 9068), which is still perfect. This, and a genealogy which accompanies it, are printed below. The only difference between the two copies-save in the spelling-is that one is addressed to the King, and the other to the King and his Council. G. W. WATSON.
